BellaVita Hayal Al-Bahar is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025. Hayal Al-Bahar opens with Floral Notes and Fruity Notes, settles into a heart of Anise, Oud, and Star Anise, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Labdanum, Frankincense, and Ambergris. BellaVita's Hayal Al-Bahar carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

Seriously divisive stuff, this. Some will swoon over its unique, spicy oud character, others will find it an absolute scrubber. It's a bold commitment, definitely not a blind buy.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its bold, assertive character and strong oud-spice accord mean it's not well-suited for the office or casual daytime wear where subtlety is key. It shines for intimate evenings or formal events where its unique profile can make an impression.

About

Opens with a fleeting whisper of unidentifiable fruits and florals before diving headfirst into an intoxicating, almost liquorice-like blast of anise and star anise. This spicy heart weaves its way through the mystical, earthy depths of oud, before settling into a warm, resinous base of labdanum, frankincense, and ambergris. A woody cedar note grounds the composition, preventing it from drifting too far into the ethereal.
